He will be very sadly missed by all that have known such a humble scholar, who taught so many to memorize the Quran (Hifz), who we were blessed to have as a teacher, as have the Muslims of Edinburgh for many years before he moved to Blackburn. May he be rewarded with high abode in paradise, and our thoughts are with his whole family.

It always saddens me to hear of deaths during either Hajj or Umrah and to have it happen to one of our own, particularly so.
Many sacrifices are made to make these pilgrimages but not this..
Insha'Allah!
My sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and fellow members of the community.

We need more intelligent, modest and humble people, so even though I don't believe in God, I am sad that his family and the community have lost a well respected man. My thoughts are with them.

Of course with EIGHT children, he will be deeply missed. Luckily for his family he was Muslim so he can have an Islamic burial there, as all other religions are banned in this country. I would suggest the government send a representative out to show our respect, but this would have to be a Muslim as non-Muslims are banned from certain parts of Medina.

Very sad that this man passed away in such tragic circumstances.
